Every other dealer has their flagship sports cars just sitting on the lots (Mustangs, Miatas, GTI's etc.) collecting dust.

The thing I'm most worried about is long term how they keep the car "fresh" which in this day and age means bloat, guess it'll just make the first generation more valuable in the long run.

Mark my words, in less than a year they'll be stagnating on dealer lots like every other sports car.
unfortunately, i agree! reason is just so many people are gonna chase this car! it's a sports car,and the economy still sucks.what this means is that MOST people who can buy a new car won't be lookin' at this one,mainly because it is NOT practical enough,and to be honest,$25 large,IS still $25 large.it ain't chump change!..just sayin'
